Sukma Ngumbara
- Scope & Content:
-
A: ff. 1v-106v. Described in the 2nd verse as Jaya Lĕngkara Wulang. The story in which the didactic passages are embedded, however, narrates the story of Sukma Ngumbara. The story corresponds to the second part of Leiden Or 1801 as summarized in Vreede, 1892, pp. 277-80. Weatherbee says that the MS is not specifically connected with the Java Lĕngkara of MSS Jav. 24, but it does confirm as suggested at the end of MSS Jav. 24 that the Sukma Ngumbara text was literarily independent of the first part of the Jaya Lĕngkara. A pencilled note on the flyleaf indicates that MSS Jav. 12 was copied by Rawijah. In verse; 40 cantos. A very poor English translation is in Mackenzie 1822 collection 26 pt. 1 (Blagden, 1916, p. 23).
B: ff. 109r-119r. Punika sĕrat sĕjarah Rasulullah Muhammat. A history of Sunan Giri in Javanese with an interlinear romanized Malay translation. Received from the Adipati of Grĕsik in April 1812. See van der Tuuk, 1849, p. 400. A transcription of the Malay text in Arabic script is in Leiden Or 3302, and was published and translated in Cabaton, 1906. An English translation is in Mackenzie 1822 collection 25 pt. 1 (Blagden, 1916, p. 21).
In Javanese language and script, and Malay in Romanised script.
